There is a small cairn at the summit, which could be the remains of the monument in question. Laghtnafrankee is the 412th highest summit in Ireland. Laghtnafrankee is the second most northerly summit in the Comeragh Mountains area. Our data has reached 54% of the goal for this summit. (Details)     COMMENTS for Laghtnafrankee Page 1 of 1 Fancy a quick one? Short Summary created by jackill  6 Aug 2010 Park on the the roadside around S251 187 (Point A), just before a cattle grid.There is lots of room to do so. Head east towards the mountain first on a muddy farm track and then up a small rise and across gently sloped, heather-covered, featureless ground to the summit. Grand views of Slievenamon and the stretch of the Comeragh Plateau on a good day, a test of navigation on a bad one. Point A: S251 187 (turn area map On) Comment Rating (0.00) Picture: Slievenamon from the summit of Lachtnafrankee Expand pics.   by jackill  26 Sep 2005 I set out for the Comeraghs yesterday with the intention of starting my walk at the Gap carpark outside Bally macarbry. Unfortunately for the first time ever I encountered an access problem. At Hanoras cottage the road was blocked by cars that had been abandoned in the mad rush not to miss Mass. I didn't think the priest would announce from the alter "would the owner of car....." so i decided to take a short detour and climb (or walk across the bog really) Lachtnafrankee as the only time I had been there before I couldn't see 10 feet in front of me. I parked the car on the roadside at S251 187 (Point A) and crossed the tarred road and followed the track on the map to its end.From there its an easy walk across the bog to the summit. What Lachtnafrankee lacks in stature it makes up for in views.The Knockanaffrin Ridge , the Comeragh Plateau, the Knockmealdowns , The Galtys ,The Ballyhouras , Slievenamon and ,away in the distance, the Blackstairs are all visible from its summit. 50 mins and 3.5 kms Point A: S251 187 (turn area map On) (Comment Rating 4.00) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average Expand pics. by simon3  3 May 2004 This view from the summit looking SE shows from the left and on the skyline, the Knockanaffrin ridge, in front of the bulk of the Comeragh plateau, which continues on the skyline to the right. Much of the surface of the mountain was (as of 2004) covered in fairly low heather. The summit is easily reached from the East and probably many other directions.

The views are as excellent as promised, as evidenced by my picure showing the view over to the Knocksheegowna - Knockanaffrin ridge.
